WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The incident comes just one week after the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said it arrested a 68-year-old man in the US state of California for making threats against employees of the Boston Globe newspaper.
A man was arrested after crashing his pickup truck into the building of the local TV station FOX 4 News in Dallas, Texas during a live newscast, employees at the media outlet said on Wednesday.
